You've upgraded your phone. Isn't it time to upgrade the way you charge it, too? Now you can charge with no wires, no frustration, and possibly in less time than you're used to.

What is a wireless charger?

Wireless chargers are portable chargers that don't require wires or cables. They're easy to use and set up. All you have to do is set your device on the charger and it will automatically begin charging. You can also continue to use your device while charging, and even answer a call without unplugging.

Wireless chargers tend to work with most Qi-enabled devices, but may not offer fast charging for your device, so you would still have normal charging times, with the added convenience.
